Although genotypically a T-cell lymphoma, ALK+ ALCL cells frequently show loss of T-cell-specific surface antigens and expression of monocytic markers. C/EBPβ, a transcription factor constitutively overexpressed in ALK+ ALCL cells, has been shown to play an important role in the activation and differentiation of macrophages and is furthermore capable of transdifferentiating B-cell and T-cell progenitors to macrophages in vitro. To analyze the role of C/EBPβ for the unusual phenotype of ALK+ ALCL cells, C/EBPβ was knocked down by RNA interference in two ALK+ ALCL cell lines, and surface antigen expression profiles of these cell lines were generated using a Human Cell Surface Marker Screening Panel (BD Biosciences). Interesting candidate antigens were further analyzed by immunohistochemistry in primary ALCL ALK+ and ALK − cases. Antigen expression profiling revealed marked changes in the expression of the activation markers CD25, CD30, CD98, CD147, and CD227 after C/EBPβ knockdown. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed a strong, membranous CD147 (EMMPRIN) expression in ALK+ ALCL cases. In contrast, ALK − ALCL cases showed a weaker CD147 expression.

Abstract: The role of C5a receptors (C5aR1 and C5L2) in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is uncertain. We generated an in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation with human proximal tubule epithelial cells to mimic some IRI events. C5aR1, membrane attack complex (MAC) and factor H (FH) deposits were evaluated with immunofluorescence. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction evaluated the expression of C5aR1, C5L2 genes as well as genes related to tubular injury, inflammation, and profibrotic pathways. Additionally, C5aR1 and C5L2 deposits were evaluated in kidney graft biopsies (KB) from transplant patients with delayed graft function (DGF, n = 12) and compared with Citation: Arias-Cabrales, C.; a control group (n = 8).

Herein, we present single-cell tran- scriptome profiling of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, the most prevalent histological lung cancer type diagnosed at stage IV in over 40% of all cases. From 208,506 cells populating the normal tissues or early to metastatic stage cancer in 44 patients, we identify a cancer cell subtype deviating from the normal differentiation trajectory and dominating the metastatic stage. In all stages, the stromal and immune cell dynamics reveal ontological and functional changes that create a pro-tumoral and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Normal resident myeloid cell populations are gradually replaced with monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells, along with T-cell exhaustion. This extensive single-cell analysis enhances our understanding of molecular and cellular dynamics in metastatic lung cancer and reveals potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in cancer-microenvironment interactions. 1 Samsung Genome Institute, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul 06351, Korea.

  • CD Markers Are Routinely Used for the Immunophenotyping of Cells
    ptglab.com 1 CD MARKER ANTIBODIES www.ptglab.com Introduction The cluster of differentiation (abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules. So-called CD markers are routinely used for the immunophenotyping of cells. Despite this use, they are not limited to roles in the immune system and perform a variety of roles in cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, blood clotting, gamete fertilization, amino acid transport and apoptosis, among many others. As such, Proteintech’s mini catalog featuring its antibodies targeting CD markers is applicable to a wide range of research disciplines.

  • CD59: a Long-Known Complement Inhibitor Has Advanced to a Blood Group System
    B LOOD G ROUP R EVIEW CD59: A long-known complement inhibitor has advanced to a blood group system C. Weinstock, M. Anliker, and I. von Zabern The blood group system number 35 is based on CD59, a 20-kDa by Zalman et al.1 from the group of H.J. Muller-Eberhard in La membrane glycoprotein present on a large number of different Jolla, California, and in 1988 by Schönermark et al. from the cells, including erythrocytes. The major function of CD59 is to group of G.M. Hänsch in Heidelberg (Germany).2 This inhibitor protect cells from complement attack. CD59 binds to complement components C8 and C9 and prevents the polymerization of C9, was published under the designations “HRF (homologous which is required for the formation of the membrane attack restriction factor)” and “C8bp (C8 binding protein),” complex (MAC). Other functions of CD59 in cellular immunity respectively, to describe its properties.1,2 “C8bp” indicates the are less well defined. CD59 is inserted into the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. A defect of this anchor binding capacity for C8. The name “HRF” points to a species causes lack of this protein from the cell membrane, which leads to incompatibility of this “factor” that provides protection from an enhanced sensitivity towards complement attack. Patients with complement attack more effectively in a homologous (e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) harbor a varying human erythrocytes as a target of human complement) than in percentage of red blood cell clones with a defect in GPI-anchored proteins, including CD59. The most characteristic symptoms of a heterologous system (e.g., human erythrocytes as a target of this disease are episodes of hemolysis and thromboses.
